Tips
- At least 3 SS are required to reach the boss.
- There are LoS checks G-H and H-K. They do not have high LoS requirements (SSVs with a couple recon planes will pass), but an all-sub fleet without recon planes will be sent to I.
Recommended Fleet
- CLT + CL + CV + 3 SS(V) routes CFGHK
- Effective fleet for taking out the boss but it will have to go through node C where there's a Ru-class Flagship.
- CV may or may not wish to equip SCAMP, as it allows the CV to act first. Try to use armored CV so that it can attack even in chuuha.
- Saiun is probably not a good idea for clearing purposes (you want to minimize damage taken along the route). Only consider that if you're using this fleet for the monthly quest (3 S Victory at 6-1 boss).
- An all-sub fleet routes ADFGHK
- Allows the fleet to completely ignore any enemy ships that can't attack subs, however node D is pretty harsh on subs with late-model DDs and flagship CLs.
- You pretty much want to count on cut-in attacks (at boss), so only use remodeled subs if you're using this composition. Note that you need recon planes for this map, and as SS(V) only have 2 slots, you may want to just give both planes to the same girl. You will want as many submarines that are actually combat capable for this route, meaning that you really need I-401 and/or U-511 (Ro-500).
- For those who obtained both during the Spring 2017 event, the kai versions of I-13 & I-14 have 3 equipment slots. You can equip a recon plane in their first slot, leaving 2 slots available for torpedo equipment (and torpedo cut-ins).
- Taigei + 2 DD + 3 SS(V), Taigei + 1 CL + 4 SS(V) routes AFGHK
- The shortest route in terms of number of battles. Taigei can also equip recon planes to free up slots for your SS(V)s.
- The trade off is that any enemy ship still in lightly damage or better shape at the end of shelling phase will have fewer targets to launch their torpedoes at. Taigei (and escorts if any) also has to tank all the preboss ships that can't perform ASW i.e. the Wa-class Transport Elite, and far more dangerously, the Flag and/or Elite Ri-Class CA
- She'll also be targeted by closing torpedoes, which now have much fewer targets than normal. However, most of the formation pre-boss is echelon or diamond so the chance of getting hit by torpedoes is small.
- Pattern 1 on node I has a chance to drop I-401 with S Victory. If you want to farm her there, 1 BB 3 CLT 1 CL 1 CV or 1 CL 3 CLT 2 CV both guarantee CFGI and are good enough to get S Rank.
